Book 3 was harder for me, in part because it deals with the afterlife, rising from the dead, and psychic powers, while I am more focused on the practical challenge of eradicating the ten high-level threats to humanity in the next 20 years.

Still, plenty of food for thought here, and I will probably come back to Book 3 for a second reading at some point.

Key points:

Society that marginalizes the elderly is destined for collapse.

Young should bear children, but they should be raised and taught by the elders.
